You could use a server side language like php, you submit the form to a php file and have that file process the form, php has a built in function called mailto() which you could use. That function can be set up to send the information in your form to an email address that you specify.You wouldn't need a db to do this.p.s. You can send info from a form by email but it's not very reliable. Results can vary depending on what browser the client is using and they must have an email programme installed on there machine to send the info i.e. oulook, an internet email like yahoo wont work.

having a php based email form also prevents spam bots from gathering your email address as opposed to having a mailto link on the page.

There are pros and cons:1. Spambots don't get your email adress2. People can spam you form the form.

A good script to use is FormMail. If the hosting service you use allows it, you can download it for free and install it yourself. Several hosting services may offer it as part of their hosting package, you'll need to check. Here's a link to FormMail for more information:http://www.formmail.com/
